halli-hallo ersteinmal an alle bassicer/Innen!
ich habe vor mir einen "t-rex-squeezer" zuzulegen,
denn ich habe schon viel gutes über den t-rex kompressor gehört und hier gelesen (hatte leider noch keine möglichkeit ihn irgendwo auszuprobieren) - jedoch hat mich dieser kommentar ziemlich abgeschreckt:
"T-Rex Squeezer: Sighhhh... I had such high hopes. This is a very expensive pedal, fairly new on the market, designed for bass, from a company with a good reputation. It uses a 12AX7 tube, and it has more controls than nearly any other pedal comp, so I imagined it would be the ideal combination of fat warm sound and funky versatility, with (I hoped) low noise. Well, the reality is that it is just way too noisy. There is hiss even when the Gain knob is turned full off; and when the Gain and Volume controls are brought up to unity gain level, it sounds like a waterfall. On the plus side, it really is very versatile, with a super range of possible settings, and it also has a very full low end and a bright clear high end. Also, the tone is actually very crisp and "hi-fi" (except for the noise), and not at all the sort of fat/warm tone that people hope for from tubes. Interestingly, the noise does not increase/decrease as the compression level is adjusted. So they got part of the circuit right, for a versatile high-fidelity full-range compressor, but they seriously need to eliminate whatever part is causing all of the hiss. There's also a few things I don't like about the physical design of the pedal: (1) they have made it very difficult to access the tube; (2) the knobs are very close to the footswitch and they turn too easily, so you're likely to mess up your settings when switching it on/off; (3) it uses a 12VDC wall wart, which is just annoying; and (4) they installed a little orange LED in the base of the tube to light it up, which I think is tacky. I think if they redesigned this pedal without the tube, aiming for low noise, and chose a more logical power supply and improved the knob placement, they'd have a real winner. But that is not the case here."

vielleicht können mir ja einige besitzer dieses "sahneteils" mal ihre erfahrungen mit diesem gerät mitteilen...
...ob er wirklich "too noisy" ist...und sich die regler-einstellungen bei der kleinsten berührung wirklich so schnell verändern...
...ach vielleicht noch was zu meiner backline...
ich spiele über einen genz benz 1200 und habe dort ja schon quasi röhren drin...wäre es denn dann absurd noch ´nen kompressor mit röhre zu verwenden?
denn wenn ja würde ja eigentl. auch der "comp nova" von t-rex reichen, obwohl er ja eigentl. speziell für gitarreros gedacht ist...
beste grüße, garnelo
